    What gun are you?

    Me? I think I'd be a PTR 91.

    Here's why:

    It's robust and solid, but not going to win any beauty contests.

    Designed in Germany but made in America, just like me.

    Powerful, but not magnum level.

    A true original design, just like I strive to be.

    It can feel a variety of rolls, from sniper rifle to SAW with the right accessories.

    Not overly high priced, but not hardly cheap either.

    Time tested in a variety of situations, similar to my life.

    Easily identifiable and visually distinctive.

    Can be fed a variety of diet and still keep running.

    Would be extremely handy in a zombie apocalypse.

    What would you be?

    Don't do this to me.
    I tried to think this morning and got a charley horse in my brain.
    If I try to think again and get another charley horse I don't know
    what will happen, I never had it happen twice in one day.

    1911 .45 Pistol - Overly large Bore with limited capacity but always can get the job done.

    Well used 1953 Browning Light 12. Lots of bluing worn but a nice patina that doesn't require a lot of shine - downed a lot of ducks and doves over the years. Been dropped, scraped, banged and shot more than you'd think a gun could stand, but still dependable. Other than a couple of minor replacements like a new ejector, still original equipment. My best friend is wd-40, clean and lube with just a couple of sprays. Oh the stories I could tell.

    There I was, larger than life...

    It was 2014 and I was getting ready to leave Nevada. I wander into my favorite gunstore, and what do I see? A pair of NIB tec-9 pistols. For some unknown reason, I have always wanted one.

    I got to jaw-jacking with the man at the counter and he offered the pair to me for $300 out the door. I said no, and have regretted it ever since. It would have been so cool double fisting tec-9's at the range.

    My trusty old well used M1A. Its on its fourth barrel the heavy bishop walnut stock tells a story with the dings and scratches. Rifle took me to high master and never let me down ( although I might have let it down a few times) Its just all the memories and time spent with it.

    That wasn't a bad price - having done my UZI and a friends Mac-11 Arnold style you ain't going to get groups to brag about but you will get a grin that's hard to get rid of.

    I guess I would be an M-1 Garand.

    A little old and heavy, kinda beat up over the years, maybe in need of a few replacement parts, but still able to reach out and connect, stubborn sticking to my original chambering, and kinda proud of my accomplishments.
